Foer: How Cows Become Beef

The callousness of the meat industry knows no limits and it is
hardly impossible to think of even more cruelty than one going on in
slaughterhouses. How much has humanity veered off from the
compassion and mercy that Jesus' teaches us? When is it that we'll
realize with complete horror the terrible injustices committed
against God's farmed animals? Our hope resides in finding within
ourselves that essence of love that we all share.
